Oh, for such a place to be in the middle of the dense forest!

A sanctuary that was in the middle of the thickly grown trees.

Ian, who walked along the road for 10 minutes, found a small village that was hidden inside the forest.

The name of the village Pneuma had been written at the entrance of the place.

So the name of the village is Pneuma.

Ian wandered around and began to explore the region.

The village of Pneuma was much smaller than the village of Thanatos in Erebus.

But everything was present in that place.

Do we need to get any other currency of gold in the village?

In the village of Thanatos, all the transactions had been carried out with the currency of the Underworld, death coins.

Because of that, Ian couldnt help but think that there would be some specific currency in the spirit dimension too.

And his thoughts were on point.

-Spirits Dojo/Admission fee: 500 Aster

A small hut in the corner of the village.

Ian saw a signboard that was attached to the entrance and mumbled to himself.

Aster is probably the currency in here. By the way, what am I supposed to do in this place by paying the admission?

With the curiosity in him, Ian opened the door that was on the cabin next to him.

On the door of the cabin, something was written in small letters.

-Magic Store.

* * *

Pneuma village was located to the west of the spirit sanctuary.

On the other hand, in order to proceed with the quest that Syarlon had handed to him, Ian should be visiting the Spirit Mountain.

Then why did Ian move to a remote village?

I wish there is a good fire magic in here

It was because he wanted to raise Agbi a little faster.

By learning to use the fire spirit magic, it was possible for Agbis spirit power to fill faster.

Surely he could get them in the summoner tower that was in the human dimension too.

However, most of the spirit magics that could be obtained from the summoner tower were very rare and of ~ only grade.

Sometimes there were hero or legendary ranking ones, but there was no guarantee that they would be good enough for Ian.

In the meantime, he heard about the story of Pneuma village from Syarlon, and he had no choice but to come.

The spirits shop in the village that sold the spirit magic, and it was surely going to be better than the one that the summoner tower would sell in the human dimension.

Oh ho, Im seeing a human guest after a long time.

Hello.

Yeah, what kind of things are you in need of?

Said an old dwarf who was seated inside the magic store.

-Magic Merchant: Harnew

Seeing the old man who looked similar to Syarlon, Ian thought to himself.

Is there some race that specifically has horns on their heads?

But those things werent so important to him. Ian had something else he was curious about.

Maybe I can sell these things?

Ian rushed over to the dwarf with the items of various attribute essence that were in his hand.

Those were the attribute essence that he had obtained after killing the contaminated spirits. Apart from the fire and lightning, the others werent of major importance.

The old dwarf who saw those essences that were piled up in the table said, Of of course. Where did you even get so many essences?

I got them from the windy plains by taking down the contaminated spirits.

Oh that so.

Most of the essences that he had brought out were of the lowest level.

Because of that, it was common for the quantity to be high.

The magic merchant Harnew was a bit ignorant about the amount.

The lowest essences are of three asters. The lower essences will give you 30 asters. How much would you like to sell them for?

At the question from Harnew, Ian responded without hesitation, I am selling everything.

Okay. Just hold on for a minute.

Harnew took a huge sack that seemed to have the essences in it and soon the system messages came to his eyes.

Tring-!

[You have earned 81 asters by selling 27 items of Lesser water essence.]

[You have earned 57 asters by selling 19 items of Lesser wind essence.]

syncopation

[You have earned 120 asters by selling four of Lesser Abyss essence.]

After selling hundreds of essences, Ians inventory was filled with quite a lot of Aster.

Lets see I got 1,500 aster.

Ian scratched the back of his neck.

It was because he wasnt sure how much the currency of Aster was worth.

My young friend, there isnt anything else you want to sell, right?

Yes.

Nice. If you collect essences next time, please bring them over and sell it here.

Okay, Harnew.

Ian, who roughly cleaned up his inventory, looked at Harnew and said, Say, Harnew.

Go on.

By any chance, do you sell Spirit magic spells?

At the question of Ian, he nodded his head and answered, Of course, What do you need my friend?

I want to get the spirit magic spells with fire attributes.

Fire attributes? Just hold on a minute.

Harnew wandered towards a bookshelf that was in the corner of the shop and pulled out several books.

He then placed them on the table that was in front of Ian.

Kay, these are all the things I have at the moment.

Is it alright if I take a look?

Definitely. Take your time.

Harnew sat down in his chair with a tender smile, and Ian began to look into the books.

Whenever Ian opened a book, its information and price appeared in front of him.

[Name: Fire Explosion; Class: rare (transcendence); Price: 520 aster]

[Name: Fire Speaker; Class: General (transcendence); Price: 195 aster]

syncopation

[Name: Infernal Fire; Rank: Rare (transcendence); Price: 575 aster]

[Name: Land of Fire; Rank: Only (transcendence); Price: 1355 aster]

A total of ten books with fire attribute spells were there.

And Ians mind was thinking of taking the last book that he saw, the Land of Fire.

That was because the rank of the Land of Fire was the highest of them all.

Lets see, it looks like a wide area magic spell, and the coefficient is 450? This surely is much better than the ones that can be bought in the summoner tower

The Land of Fire was very satisfying.

The skill itself was a very basic magic, but the attack coefficient to determine the power was quite high.

And it was almost double the factor when compared to the one that Ian uses, the heroic spirit spell.

Even then, maybe I should read the other magic spells too?

Ian started to read the Fire explosion and then started to read the other books.

However, after a while, Ians eyes caught something.

Oh ho.

A book that was titled as rare (transcendence) was called Infernal Fire

-Infernal Fire

Classification: Active Skills

Skill level: Lv 0

Skill class: rare (transcendence)

Proficiency: 0 percent

Consumes: 100 spirit power.

Cooldown: 100 seconds.

Borrowing the fire spirits, it summons a burning longbow.

Grab the handle of the summoned longbow to automatically generate an arrow to hit the enemy, and deals will inflict 40% damage of fire attribute equal to the summoned magic.

Enemies which are hit by the arrow will have a mark of hell fire for a duration of 10 seconds, and the marked target takes 4% more damage per summoned magic per second.

*As soon as the arrow leaves the bow, new arrows will be reloaded. (Up to 20 shots are available)

*If an arrow misses or at least 20 arrows were used, the summon of the Burning Longbow is dismissed.

*The mark can be stacked up to 10 times, or when the stacking is at its maximum, it will cause a powerful explosion to destroy the target.

(When the mark explodes, the stacked mark will cause all the damage it can during the leftover duration.)

(When the mark explodes, the cooldown of Infernal fire magic spell will reset.)

*Skill Acquisition condition: can only be acquired while learning the passive skill Fire spirit summoner.

*Skill activation condition: skill can be activated only when the fire attribute spirit is summoned.

*It is growable magic. If the conditions have been met, it can be evolved into high magic.

Kailans skills normally had a more complicated mechanism for activation.

The advanced skills were more difficult to use.

But right now, Ian found the skill, despite being a rare (transcendence) rank, to have a much more complicated mechanism than the one with only a unique rank (transcendence).

growable magic is it because of that option?

Ians eyes were twinkling.

It was because the option growable magic seemed like the evolvable options for his summons.

It surely is low for a rare ranked one

The attack rate of the Infernal Fire was indeed less than 10 percent of the Land of Fire magic.

Even with the lasting deal with the mark, the arrow would have to hit 6 times on the mark to get higher damage than the Land of Fire.

In addition, the Land of Fire was a wide area skill.

Up to that point, the Infernal fire wasnt a good skill.

No, not a bad skill but the worst in the situation.

Unless the additional options have been attached.

Ians mouth started to turn dry as he read the additional options of the skill.

Each and every other one of its optional features was attractive.

First was the option of the sniper which Ian liked.

If it constantly hits, would at least 1 out of the 20 could hit the enemy?

If the hit rate was 100 percent, it was possible to give a crazy amount of deal.

In addition, if 10 arrows could hit within 10 seconds, a third additional option would get triggered.

As soon as the mark exploded, the cooldown of the skill would reset

This is it. This is it!

Depending on the ability of the user, it was a skill that could make stars.

To sum it up easily, the Infernal fire skill wouldnt even be a useful skill when used by a user who lacked the skills for archery by 100%.

On the other hand, if theoretically shown, it could be possible to generate a few thousands of damage.

In addition, Ian had a friend who would make the skill work much stronger.

Agbi! This skill was made exclusively for Agbi!

Ians spiritAgbisfirst unique ability, the Devils Fire.

With that ability, the speed at which the marks accumulate would be twice as fast.

Im going to hunt right away!

Ian, who drew a picture in his head, called Harnew while holding the spellbook.

Harnew, Ill do this!

New powerful fire spirit Agbi.

The ultimate spirit magic that would go in perfect synergy with it.

Filled with excitement, Ians heart began to beat faster.
